Playmobil: Rome-The Siege of Jerusalem

This looks as if it was a tremendous effort to put this together.  I like the special effects and scenic and would like to acquire some of tem for my own Romans.

Napoleon Total War - ZULU ATTACK

Just to set the tone for the series of sets I'm offering....

Black Powder 28mm Rorke's Drift! Starter Box

 

I've seen these figures put together and painted and they're beautiful!  I don't know if I can put together all those figures.

Heroes Of Rorke's Drift Models

 

This is the next set on my list of troops to acquire.  I hope they look as good on the table-top as they do in this picture.

Warlord Games Black Powder Anglo Zulu War Historical Defenders Of Rorke's Drift

 

Defenders to the ramparts!  I don't own a set of these, but I am ready.

Warlord Games Black Powder Anglo Zulu War 1879 Unmaried Zulu Regiment Warriors

 

What a ferocious-looking band of warriors they make when assembled!  The head-dress, alone, is worth the effort of presenting them on the table-top.

British Line Infantry - Black Powder

 

I actually own a painted set of these troops, which I will present in a picture at a later date (they're at my son's house).  I like them and look forward to seeing them on the table-top.   You will find them intriguingly animated.

Khartoum 1966 - Lego gunboat scene

What a terrific effort!  I've never been all that attracted to legos before, but that gunboat and the ruins - I'm putting this on my to-do list.

Lego Zulu War

I usually like a good effort to simulate the Zulu War..., but this isn't a good effort in my opinin.  Where are the Zulus?  For that matter, where are the British?  I can play the music, anyone can.  The idea is to show some significance to what happened.

LEGO Zulu Battle of Rouke's Drift - BrickFair Virginia 2014

I can't imagine building all these soldiers and buildings - then destroying them!

Civil War Toy Soldiers Marx Gettysburg Playset Commemorative Reissue Union Toy Soldiers 22 Piece Set

 

I was raised playing with these kinds of toy soldiers and I always look back fondly on those days.  I wish someone would market them in 1/72 scale.

I Have A Favor To Ask....

I just purchased two different Risk playing piece sets and, while I like them, I can't put my finger on their scale, for the purpose of buying complementary figures from other manufacturers.  I have a Napoleonic set, which looks like they are 15mm, and American Revolutionary figures, which I am guessing are 9mm.  Any thoughts?

Hollywood Collection: Michael Caine Breaking the Mold

 

It's the logical conclusion.  This movie is definitely on my list.

Breaker Morant

 

It's fascinating how big powers can get it wrong time after time, in this case The British Empire.

Shaka Zulu

 

This is interesting because yoy get an opportunity to take a look at a culture that is entirely different from ours and the common problems we all face.

The Zulu War

 

A documentary worth watching.

Zulu Dawn

 

I own a copy of this movie and it has become one of my favorite movies to watch.  It may have a few flaws, but it gives you a real sense of the situation at Isandlwana.  I even collected miniature Zulus and British to refight that battle.
